Disallow writes to feature MSRs after KVM_RUN to prevent userspace from changing the vCPU model after running the vCPU. Similar to guest CPUID, KVM uses feature MSRs to configure intercepts, determine what operations are/aren't allowed, etc. Changing the capabilities while the vCPU is active will at best yield unpredictable guest behavior, and at worst could be dangerous to KVM. Allow writing the current value, e.g. so that userspace can blindly set all MSRs when emulating RESET, and unconditionally allow writes to MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV so that userspace can emulate patch loads. Special case the VMX MSRs to keep the generic list small, i.e. so that KVM can do a linear walk of the generic list without incurring meaningful overhead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
